` I BELT-PUNCH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 29, 1908.

Application tiled April 11, 1908. Serial No. 426,422.

T oA all 'whom it may concern: l Be it known that I, DANIEL W. CARR, a citizen of the United States,A resident of Clevelandcounty of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, Ihave invented lcertain new and useful lm. rovements in Belt-Punches, of which the fol owing is a specification, the principle of the invention being herein explainedQand the best mode in which I have contemplated aplying that principle, so as to distinguish it rom other inventions. I f

The annexed drawings and thfollowin description set forth in detail,'one mechanica form embodying the invention; suchmdetail construction bemg but one of various' mechanical forms in whichthe principle of the invention maybe used.

In said annexed drawings Figure l represents aside view of my im roved belt-punch Fig. II, an axial se'ction o the same, and Fig. II a sectional detail view on the line III-w III in Fig. I. l

The punch has aV yoke, 1, the arms of which have two heads, 2 and 3, the inner portions of which form shoulders, 4, the faces of which are at right an les to the two outer edges of the yoke, whic ,edges are straight. An anvil, 5, of brass or other soft metal is secured in the innerface of one arm of the yoke, presenting in the ga of the same, and the head of the other arm has an axial screw threaded bore, 6, directly opposite to and registerin with the anvil. A tubular sleeve, 7, has a ongitudinal slot, 8, in its side, and has the vscrew threaded Shanks, 9 and 10, of two unches, l'land 12, secured, one ineach end. ne of these punches is'preferably of smaller diameter than 'the other. The punches are tapering and have axial bores, 13 and 14, which extend entirely',l through the shank. The screw threaded Shanks are of such size and so threaded that they will it in the screw threaded bore in the he adof the yoke. The shank of one of 'said' punches is f, screwed into the bore of thehead, and a handle, 15,

- having, an'internal bore, 16, is fitted overy the threaded shank of the' other punch,- the bore of lthe handle having an internal screw thread, 17, a distance' from the end,

whereby the handle is secured over the punch and upon the screw threadedfshank of the same. An awl, 18, has one end secured in the closed-bottom of the handle and projects through the bore of the handle and through the axial bore of the punch and its shank, be-

yond the end of `the handle,l so that the awl thus be screwed towards and from the anvil on the other arm of the yoke.

When the tool is to be used for punching rivet-holes or lace-holes inthe endg .of 'a belt,l and one or both ends of the belt is or are to be out off for shortening the belt,y

the oke is placed upon the belt with the shou ders bearingagainst one edge of the same, when a straight line across the belt and at a right angle to the edge of the same.

may be drawn along either edge of the yoke at the point where the belt is to be cut to thus `form a guide for cutting the belt. The location of the holes for the rivets or lacing may also be marked in straight lines at right angles to the edges of the belt by means of the yoke, in the saine manner.A

After the locationof the holes in the belt has been determined,l the gap of the yoke isstraddledover the belt, and the location of a' hole is brought to register with the punch, which has been withdrawn by unscrewing the shank by means of the sleeve and handle. lWhen the location of the hole registers with the punch, the punch is screwed into the gap andv against and into the belt by rotating the handle, and the punch is forcedthrough the belt with a rotar motion, causing the edge of the punci to cut into the belt, forming a hole and pushing the core of the hole through not sufficiently large, or any marking is,

to be made on the belt, the awl may be detached from the tool by unscrewing the handle, when the awl may. be used in the ordinary manner. f

In this tool, two punches and an awl are
